I'm in need of some help...I have a site that uses jsp pages. I've never encountered a site that uses this but I've read that it is similar to asp pages.

As far as optimization is concerned, seeing as spiders can crawl asp pages, does this hold true for jsp pages seeing as they are dynamic as well? Will I need to create any workarounds for these pages, (outside of the standard static html page)?
Or can I just optimize the site normally?

Any comments or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!

Hi mburgess, welcome to WebmasterWorld

jsp pages are generated using Java Servlets, and suffer from the same spidering problems as other dynamic pages. While a simple .jsp page will probably be spiderable, if links contain a ? in the URL most spiders will not follow the link. Also, there's some disagreement about whether extensions other than .htm(l) suffer a penalty even if spidered.

If you can arrange for the server to run .html pages through the JSP engine, and rename all your pages .html, this will help matters.

More ideas on dealing with dynamic pages of various types:
